Could this the count-down to the first actual Justin Bieber mugshot?

This morning, officers from the L.A. County's Office took 11 police cars to
Justin Bieber
's property with a felony warrant.
TMZ
is all over this business and reports that Justin was kept in the garage while the police went into the house searching for evidence in the case of
the egging of Justin's neighbour's house
that took place last week.

According to TMZ, police arrived with a battering ram.

While it was previously reported that the police were looking for eggs that would tie Justin to the egging, TMZ now says that "they were NOT looking for eggs in Justin's house. Nonetheless, another law enforcement source told us earlier today ... they were looking for ANYTHING in the house that could link J.B. to the crime ... and as farfetched as it seems, even eggs were a possibility."

TMZ reports that the officers have dismantled Justin's security system and removed it from the premises. The site also said that police was searching for possible surveillance video from Justin's house.

UPDATE: The Lost Hills Sheriff's in Malibu held a press conference at 2:30 p.m. Toronto time. Lieutenant Dave Thompson, who is in charge of the detective bureau, said that Justin was "neither arrested nor exonerated." Another person in the house was, however, arrested for felony narcotics. Thompson said that material was collected that will be analyzed, but would not say exactly what was collected. He did, however, allow that security tapes were taken.

The lieutenant said that Justin and the other people present were "co-operative" and that the investigation is ongoing. He added, "none of this has anything to do with him being a celebrity."

TMZ says that the person arrested for cocaine possession is Justin's good buddy Lil Za.

This recent development in the Bieber saga has a whiff of dreary inevitability to it. It would have been more surprising if Justin had decided to stop getting into trouble. From fast driving in his Calabas neighbourhood to alleged spitting on neighbours through publicly peeing in buckets and annoying several countries by vandalizing their walls with graffiti, the bad behaviour just hasn't stopped coming in the past year or so. He also attacked a photographer in London yelling, "I'll bleeping beat the bleep out of you man" and was accused of spitting on fans from a Toronto balcony. And let's not forget the whole illegal monkey thing and showing up without his shirt on at a Polish airport. Did I mention the brothel visit, being photographed with a joint and being late for concerts? I'm probably forgetting something even though counting Justin's infractions is my very special way of finding inner peace.
